Hi Kasey! This is just the post that I needed - thank you! As you can see from my last post, I am just coming onto this whole photoshop/editing idea (where have I been, seriously?) Anyway, I'm not usually one to grab for free stuff - although if it's cash, I'll push a small child out of the way - but anywho, would love to test the actions & textures. I mean, it's really for my readers, not for me :)

This would be fantastic if I won. I have been looking at the Florabella sight and really wanted to purchase one of the sets. I've been talking to Faded Prairie who has beautiful pics on her blog and she uses textures from Florabella. I am not a photographer, but love tking pictures. These would make my pics look great. I also love your blog. Visit everyday. It's just right. I loved, loved your barn pictures in the snow....What a great idea. Hoping I win. Wish me luck.....

I'm so far away from this but I'm so interested. Dumb question-can you do this with a small dig. camara-not one of those fancy things? If you can please pick me, if not I hope someone who knows what they are doing win. I want to learn.

What a fantastic giveaway! I love, love, love, that Milk and Honey II action in your picture! So beautiful! I have been dabbling around with Photoshop for a little while now and would love to win the Florabella actions!

absolutely gorgeous photos! I really need to spend more time with photoshop. Like your photo of the roses, photoshop doesn't always need to be used to 'fix' photos, but can be used to change the feeling of them! Your kids are adorable by the way, but you know that already!

My husband is a graphic artist and photographer. He spends hours in Photoshop and to see him at work is just short of amazing. I don't know how he remembers how to get certain effects out of the program, but he remembers it all!

He tried to help teach me and I did a great little piece of artwork, but two weeks later I couldn't remember the techniques to repeat the process!

I really like the effects you get with those sets, but I do not have Photoshop. I am trying to just learn Picasa 3 and then maybe move up to Photoshop. My husband said when I use Picasa 3 enough to warrant buying Photoshop, we will :)Have a blessed day. Hopefully, we will be plowed out today.

Your pictures are always top notch - even without effects but this looks so fun! I am getting a copy of photoshop really soon. Win or not thank you for letting us know about The Florabella Collection. It's fantastic!

I remember my first adventure in Photoshop - it was amazing to me what you could do. I love that there are such amazing actions and effects now. Well done - your pictures are gorgeous - but so are the subjects. :)

Oh, Kasey, what a wonderful giveaway-but then all of yours are! I have admired your photos and blog so much, and would LOVE to get my hands on those florabella beauties-have been lusting after them for ages!

...honey ~ sign me up!! Your photo's ALWAYS blow me away!! ~ and although I am constantly inspired by them, okay, I'll admit it, am also intimidated by their expert appearance! To make myself feel better, I'd say to myself, self, she just HAS to be a professional photographer!! Thanks for sharing your secret, I feel a new hobby coming on!!! xo

I dont have photoshop*sigh* but if I did Oh !the world would be a different place....I am in constant hope that I will be able to have it someday..your pictures are fab! Your doing great things here! Thanks for sharing with a wistful follower! lol have a great day! Stephanie from The Whispering Creek House

Love the actions applied to your photos, some subtle, some not so much. I'm VERY new to photo editing (usually it's just fix the red eyes!) and experimenting with Photoshop Elements. Will actions work with Elements?Thanks for the give away!

I would love to finally have a new way to edit and change my pictures, I don't have any photo software other than using photobucket to crop. Lame I know! I love those effects, I always wondered what they were called and how they worked! Thanks for sharing!I have to say though the vibrant pic of Lola and Fin is gorgeous in both versions!

Craziness! Add another post to the identical file(from the St Louis gal). I have photoshop but can't figure it all out because i don't have the time. Your amazing before and afters have inspired me to find the time to do it. Please enter me in your giveaway and I will have one more incentive to get my photos looking fabulous. Now I will head on over to check out Florabella. THanks!

I've come across these gorgeous actions before and haven't been able to stop thinking about them since - if I won the giveaway I would finally have time to devote to thinking about something else! Thanks for the opportunity! :)

It's funny you posted this. I was just on photoshop yesterday and x out of the websight in frustration. I don't have enough time to really sit down and learn the whole process and I really do want to learn :) Thanks for the chance, great giveaway!Kristin

wow! that action on your photo is simply amazing! lolWell, I have had photo shop for 5 years now and all I do is the "quick" edits, cropping and resizing. I have NO idea how to do actions and what not. I would love to learn!

What a fabulous giveaway! I admire your photos and Jessica of Mia Joie also shares fabulous tips on her blog. It has been something I have wanted to do for awhile now. Maybe this will finally motivate me to edit my photos to look more professional.

uhhh yes pleez! i don't have anything cute or clever to say. just that i heart lolab's. i'm a photographer living in a wee-mountian town and i need my inspiration. folk art doesn't do it for me;) and it's really cold here.freshphoto@gmail.com

Kasey your before picture is so funny! You look like the which on Wizzard of Oz! You my friend don't need a lot of photoshop. You can't fix perfection. Now that I kissed up maybe I could win the giveaway. I'm kidding...I hope you have a fun trip. Enjoy that new little baby!

I've been "on the fence" for a while now with Florabella...love, love the site. The textures/actions are awesome & I would love to "play" with them:) This is a fantastic giveaway, Kaesy! Win or lose, it might just be the nudge I needed to challenge myself more with my photos;)

this is exactly what I need. I'm obsessing over the iPhone App's, but I'd love something for my computer. My picture taking ability is so sub-par, and I know a little sprucing via photoshop can just do the trick.

I'm really excited to find your blog...I'm adding it to my favorites!!!!:) I would love, love, love the florabella actions...been saving up, but haven't been able to get them yet!! Thanks for doing this!!!:)

These actions are so great!! I love taking pictures but am not that talented with photoshop. I have been teaching myself since I bought it 2 years ago, and am always learning new things but can never get the pics to look the way you do!!! I LOVE THEM ALL!! You have lots of comments but I will keep my fingers crossed and pray that I can be picked!! Thank you so much for doing this!!!

I love these actions soooo much,I absolutely adore the yellowish tones on pictures, which make them vintage and retro, and give them that sense and touch of softness and everything gentle and nice.love it, excellent job you did!I love the one with the boy <3

I have entered to win these a few times before and haven't won yet. I will keep my fingers crossed this time! I LOVE these textures!Otherwise I have a birthday coming in march so I won't have to wait too long :)

I love your site and sense of humor!! Thanks for hosting this giveaway... i would L-O-V-E to win Florabella's textures. I've been drooling over them for quite some time now. And, i'm thankful for her link on Facebook b/c now I have a new blog to visit --- yours! Thank You :) Have a lovely day!

I would really love to win this and be able to add so much beauty to my images.Thanks for the chance.
